Hi everyone. I've been teaching some friends Cocoa and they're
really loving it. About a week ago they asked me why Objective-C
source files end in .m. I remember wondering the same thing at the
time I started with Objective C... I mean, the file extension
conventions for C, C++, Java, and Perl(.c, .cpp, .java, and .pl/.pm)
are all fairly obvious. .m however makes very little sense.
Regardless, I couldn't give my friends an answer, so I just said I'd
try to figure it out and let em know later.
I've looked in Cocoa In a Nutshell (Beam/Davidson), Cocoa
Programming (Anguish, Buck, Yacktman), and Object-Oriented
Programming: An Evolutionary Approach (Cox), not to mention the
archives and Google. No dice. The only thing I can think of is .m
is for iMplementation.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
